SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A DRUG DELIVERY AND BIOSENSOR PATCH
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a biosensor configured to detect a medication applied to an upper epidermal layer of skin of a patient, wherein the biosensor is configured to;
obtain at periodic intervals a first concentration level of the medication in the upper epidermal layer of skin and surrounding tissue and in an arterial blood flow of the patient; and
obtain a second concentration level of a substance in the arterial blood flow, wherein the second concentration level of the substance correlates to a first concentration level of the medication.

Abstract
A biosensor detects a medication applied to an upper epidermal layer of skin of a user. The biosensor obtains at periodic intervals a concentration level of the medication in the upper epidermal layer of skin and surrounding tissue of the user. The biosensor may also detect the concentration level of the medication in an arterial blood flow of the patient or obtain a concentration level of a substance in the arterial blood flow, wherein the concentration level of the substance correlates to a first concentration level of the medication. The biosensor may determine an absorption rate of the medication in the upper epidermal layer of skin and surrounding tissue and in an arterial blood flow of the patient from the detected concentration levels of the medication obtained at the periodic intervals.

11. A method, comprising:
-
detecting biosensor data of a patient using a biosensor, wherein the biosensor data includes one or more of;
respiratory rate, skin temperature, hemoglobin levels, activity level, heart rate or blood pressure;detecting a medication applied to an upper epidermal layer of the skin; measuring at periodic intervals by the biosensor a concentration level of the medication in an upper epidermal layer of skin and surrounding tissue and in arterial blood flow of the patient; and obtaining by the biosensor an absorption rate of the medication from the concentration levels of the medication detected at the periodic intervals. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
